Xbox music only allows me a 30 second preview

Yes, I have an Xbox Music subscription. Can anyone tell me if they are having the same issue and how to fix it? The album I'm trying to play is called Apocalypse and it's by an Artist called Thundercat. If you've played GTAV you'd recognize the song, "Oh Sheit It's X". I'm in the US, btw. Not sure if that matters. The really messed up thing is that I can download the song to my phone and it plays the whole thing. Really weird...

You have to do a soft reset and that some how clears some cache...I had to do it once or twice before.

Unfortunately, I've tried that a few times and it did not work. I have even tried uninstalling Xbox Music and reinstalling it.

I found this album in the Xbox music store and tried to play it, but I only got the 30 seconds. Certain songs and albums aren't available for full streaming and/or downloading, it is a rights issue by the music's publisher.

I've been having the same problem. Wanted to give Xbox Music another try but it is such a garbage app. After a while a series of songs in which I was gettign only 30second previews suddenly started letting me play every second of every song, but when I went to download another album from the same artist (James Taylor) I got another 30-second barrier treatment. I really don't have time for this, or just hope eventually that some album will magically heal.
